Calendar Coaster

*Louise*

Can anyone suggest another site which sells those little mini calendars?

I don't really want to print my own, and I'm not having much luck googling.

If you're still looking for some coasters, I got mine from this Ebay seller:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Cheap-as-Chips-20-White-Chipboard-ATC-blanks_W0QQitemZ350185262678QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Crafts_CraftingPaper_EH?hash=item5188ab0e56

It's actually chipboard cut into the shape of beer mats and she'll gladly cut you any shape you want.

I got some A4 size too, so I could make the board which hangs on the wall with the notepad, calendar, pen etc. You make these just the same way as the coaster calendars by covering with paper and embellishments etc.

Hope this helps

Magnets to stick to on back 25 for £1.40 delivered: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140286053405

I found where I was going wrong - I was googling 'mini calendars' when I should have searched for 'calendar tabs'

In case anyone else is still looking, here are some I found on ebay:

lol...ebay sellers will be wondering why the sudden rush on beer mats.... :rotfl:


(I have just bought 10 to start me off)

When I bought my first coasters from Calico Crafts it said they had over 1500 in stock, they are now out of stock. Think us MSE peeps have cleaned them out :rotfl:

^^Blimey!


I have McEwans ones LOL - I will make sure the paper covering them is really thick

Thanks Sal.

I managed to bribe my husband to go to our local pub for the mats but may make some more for my daughters christmas fayre.


Are you going to post piccies of your coasters for us to have a peek at

I've done one and I've got a piccy! :j

Unfortunately they only had this type of beer mat when my DH helped me out by asking for them in the pub:



I've made an 'altered art' version with holes punched in it to hang it up:



I've got the bug for doing them now and want to do different versions, they're fun! Thanks rainmac for starting us off. :beer:

Hey qwiksave, that's gorgeous!!! Love the shape x
